Pauline. PennaBonjour Can anyone advise me on these pycnidia fo
I found Trochila ilicina on Ilex aquifolium (1). Curiously, the part visible on the leaf undersurface happened to have white spots with a central small hole (2). Whilst separating the white part, a macroscopically visible cloud of white conidia escaped from the hole. Under the microscope, I could observe massive amounts of said conidia (3, 4). The conidiophores mostly consisted of just one conidiogenous cell, some were branched once. The conidia themselves measured 12,5 ± 0,4 µm × 2,3 ± 0,3 µm, Q = 5,6 ± 0,7 (5). Does anyone have an idea what species this could be?
Best regards,
Vitus
